Our take

Consuming the necessary food items to meet optimal nutrition goals can be difficult, requiring a lot of ingredients and preparation time that ultimately leads to people choosing easier options. Whilst there are supplements and food items that claim to tackle various vitamins or nutrients in one go, these are often not supported by science, contain dairy products, or are not suitable as legitimate nutrition formulas.

Kate Farms provides plant-based nutrition shakes and tube-feed formulas, providing its customers with a comprehensive formula of optimal nutritional intake within a single drink. The company offers an 'everyday' shake for daily nutrition goals, whilst also offering a medical nutrition formula for tube-fed people, a shake targeted for pediatric nutrition, and alternative options for people with diabetes or allergies.

Whilst other nutrition shake and soylent companies such as Huel will present fierce competition for Kate Farms, the company stands out by not focusing simply on daily health goals but by also providing comprehensive tube-feed options. Through this approach, the company shows promise to take the nutrition shake industry to a new level, providing essential health products to those that need it as well as offering supplementary products.
